Saxon Math is very good up to 4th grade. Each day you have a math log to =
do
on the board- it reminds me of the Morning Meeting idea from Math Their =
Way.
This is followed by a whole group activity to teach the concept of the =
day.
Following that you talk the group through side A of a worksheet- =
explaining
as you go. Finally the student does side B of the same worksheet as
homework. By the time you finish a lesson, the child has been exposed to
the same few concepts in at least three different ways. The concepts =
spiral
through the year so nothing is taught and then dropped. IT will return =
for
review every few lessons. There are weekly assessments, both oral and
written. I find that the kids really enjoy this series and are learning =
the
math concepts and vocabulary at an astonishing rate.
At 4th grade level you have a choice of this method or a regular textbook
approach but from 5th grade on the only choice is the text.

I just got the book Cooperative Learning and Higher Level Thinking Skills.
( Sorry I can't get this e-mail application to underline ) Have any of
you used it's techniques in your classes? I would like to incorporate it
into the peer conferences for revision. They are having trouble being
active listeners and this seems to be a way to focus them on what is being
read because they will be expected to come up with a question after
listening. Will that work or is there something better. I haven't =
started
to use any of the formats for cooperative learning yet but am willing to
try.

Saxon Math is excellent with it's textbook through 5th grade (it may even =
go
after that - am not sure).
The repetition continues and the kids learn so well because of the
consistency of the program.
